Hi Clyde,

https://WWW.silver-zone.co.uk

Thanks its just the right corner.

create you new logo and name it logo2.gif
save it to includes/templates/glacial_age/images

open includes/templates/glacial_age/css/stylesheet.css
add the following declaration to the stylesheet.css

#logo2 {
position:absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
height:75px;
background: url(../images/logo2.gif) no-repeat;
}

open includes/templates/glacial_age/common/tpl_header.php

find the following section and add the highlighted portion.

Thanks Clyde will give that a go tomorrow and let you know how I get on just popping out now for a beer.

Very many thanks.

P.S. does it matter where the code goes in the style css.

Just put it at the end.

Hi Clyde,

Done that twice still nothing coming up,

Would it make a diffrence if the gif was a little biger like 220x76

I might be doing something wrong,

I would zip the files up and place it here for you to look at but I do not know how to.

did you upload the image to your server?

Yes Clyde,

Done it in the order you said, image frist then the style sheet, then the template header, copied and pasted all the lines you said, I was wondering if putting at the bottom of the style sheet made any difference. I had to make an exta line in the header to get it under the two lines you said. I am afraid I am not being very helpful as I do not know what is happening.

Best regards

Clyde here are my files copied and pasted them in parts.

Tem Header:

<div id="taglineWrapper">

Style Sheet:

background: url(../images/tick.png) left center no-repeat;
height:16px;
}
.new {
background: url(../images/new.png) left center no-repeat;
height:16px;
}
#logo2 {
position:absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
height:75px;
background: url(../images/logo2.gif) no-repeat;
}

try making the following change in the stylesheet.css

#logo2 {
position:absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
height:75px;
width:220px;
background: url(../images/logo2.gif) no-repeat;
}

Hi Clyde,

Thats done it, have a look at my link now I need to get the tagline over to the right a bit more just to make it more central in the header. Have you any idea how I can do this please.

in the stylesheet.css change the left declaration in the following until you have the look you want:

#taglineWrapper {
/margin: 0;/
position: absolute;
top: 20px;
left: 250px;
width: 360px;
height:1%;
}

Hi Clyde,

I have been right upto 380px and right down to 15px but it just does not seem to be moving either way

try this: and make sure to clear your browser cache

#taglineWrapper {
/margin: 0;/
position: absolute;
top: 20px;
left: 350px;
width: 360px;
height:1%;

Hi Clyde,

Sorry for the delay in returning, an answer to you, but we have been out for the day, be off to bed in a short while.

I have done what you said finaly settled for 320px just what I wanted looks good in FireFox, but has made no difference in IE8, I have cleared all the history and every thing but it is still the same, have also changed the logos did not like what I had up.

Have you any ideas about IE8, will also have to download a couple more browsers and see what it looks like in them.

With many thanks :clap:

are you using an IE specific stylesheet?

If so you might want to check the settings in that stylesheet and make sure they match any changes you made.

Hi Clyde,

I did not know you had to use different style sheets for different Browsers, Where do you get them from, I thought the style sheet done them all, just shows you how thick I am.

Do you know what you have to do, please guide me, as I say I just had no idea.

Many Thanks,

Sorry for the delayed response.

My mom passed away last weekend and I had to travel to attend her funeral. I'll give you a more detailed response when I return home early next week.

Hi Clyde,

Do not really want to worry you at the moment but should you have time to reply please do.

Many thanks.

generally speaking, you don't really need to use different stylesheets.

but for Internet explorer 6/7 it is sometimes useful to have a specific stylesheet to handle some of the quirky behaivor.

there is an ie specific stylesheet included with the template.

look in includes/templates/glacial_age/css/ie_stylesheet.css

Hi Clyde,

Hope all went well.

Thanks for your answer, I am using IE8, Do I have to used the ie_style sheet as the default sheet if so how do I get It to load.

Also on my large category pages the top line is bleeding into the next line, they are bold headlines is this any thing to do with the style sheet.

Thanking you in Advance.

1. No you don't need to use the ie specific stylesheet as the default.
   The ie stylesheet will only load if the browser being used is an ie browser.

2. I'd need to look at your site to see the specific problem your are talking about.
